How Bennett's Moving Services operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 6 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 6 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Bennett's Moving Services runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 6 power units on file (4 owned and 2 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 30,000 miles reported for 2025, about 5,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared

Before you book Bennett's Moving Services
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC1072695
Bennett's Moving Services can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC1072695. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask which truck and crew you get
Bennett's Moving Services had 9 roadside inspections in 24 months and 1 vehicle out-of-service order (14.3% against 19.0%). The record covers the company; the truck and crew on your day are what you are buying.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Bennett's Moving Services driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
2 of the 6 power units Bennett's Moving Services files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 2917922, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $455 – $733
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Elizabethton at $455 – $733 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $2,786 – $3,714. A surveyed, written estimate from Bennett's Moving Services far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
